The Magazine Hotel & Apartments

Ligger veldig sentralt, lett å orientere seg. Veldig hyggelig betjening. Jeg var veldig heldig med mitt rom. Pass på å be om rom mot gateplan.

Ansatte i resepsjonen var godt orientert om kulturelle aktiviteter og gode restauranter og cafeer. Gåavstand til mange kulturinstitusjoner.

Ryddig og rent hotell, stort rom med det aller nødvendigeste. Store vindu mot basilika kirken. Super beliggenhet i hjertet av pest. Noe støy fra gate og kirkeklokker. Alt i alt et rimelig og greit alternativ.

Helt grei plass å bo med tanke på att det er så sentralt. Veldig nært alt som vi hadde ett ønske om å få oppleve på turen. St steven Basilika var rett utenfor. Vi fikk ikke dobbelt nøkkel kort selv om vi var 2, det var ett minus. Samme safe for å lagre pass.

Sorry but I have to be honest about my worst check-in experience here. I was checking in at around 9pm, which was after the reception hours (8am-8pm). Beforehand they sent me a password to open a locker that holds my room key. When I opened the designated locker, it was empty and I panicked a lot. I called the hotel's emergency phone number and luckily it worked. I was told that very unfortunately some staff had mixed up the lockers and put the room key in another locker :/ Very soon I was given the correct password and locker with great help from the staff over the phone. It is safe to say this is the worst thing that any traveler can experience in a hotel - receiving wrong information about check-in procedures, with the fear you might have nowhere to stay overnight, or have to carry around your heavy luggage in search of another hotel. I know this incident happens rarely, but it's a mistake that should not happen even for once. This bad experience aside, this hotel has an enjoyable view of the Basilica and is close to metro stations and airport bus 100E. Decorations were modern and space was adequate. Sometimes the crowd in the plaza could be noisy till late nights though. Overall I enjoyed the hotel very much despite the initial bad check-in arrangement.
